Default History info on Sewanee & Mounteagle area

My wife and myself are buying some land in the Sewanee/Mounteagle area. We go to settlement on May 21, 2008. I am trying to find some history info (books, articles, etc) for that area. Also would be interested in any general info from people who live there. We have looked all over TN for a place to build our home and fell in love with that area. I will be back down there for a visit in ealy Jun. We are looking for builders, home designers, etc. also. Any info would be greatly apreciated.

Default Welcome

J: Welcome to the neighborhood, think you will enjoy our more mild weather down here. Up on top of the plateau, with the good soil, was always just a good farming territory.
. However the Lookout river gorge area, lower mtn S.E. area goes back to Revolutionary war era with the British and the indians being driven from thnis area. "Trail of Tears" is the story to Search for. Still recalled each year with Cycle ride between states.
. 100 years later was Civil war battles, same gorge area, dams to tame the river navigation. Some rifle trench lines can still be seen in Reflection Riding" park, Lookout mtn area.
. Again you will ENJOY this area very much.
